Special Event - Globe trotting Solar Car comes to Portland

Hot off the presses!! The Power of One Solar Car Project is coming to Portland this Thursday.

The Power of One Solar Car Project, or xof1, is a project to develop and build a solar car and set a new world record for distance. The catalyst for the project, Marcelo da Luz, was inspired to create xof1 after learning about the World Solar Challenge.
